InfoAssist is a Rich Internet Application (RIA) that uses AJAX
(Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) technology. It delivers its cutting-edge
functionality using a familiar Microsoft
Windows® ribbon interface.
This highly intuitive environment shields users from the underlying
technical complexities associated with ad hoc reporting features,
while providing access to all the functionality needed to address mission-critical
information requirements.
This powerful tool enables rapid and efficient design and deployment
of reports, charts, and visualizations. It uses an interactive and
fully-customizable WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) development
environment. Users receive instant feedback throughout the development
process to ensure that reports, charts, and visualizations charts
are properly built.
